It is also native to Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman) and to the Seychelles. It is naturalized in Mexico and in the Chagos Archipelago. It is grown as an ornamental plant for its brilliantly coloured flowers, either in containers or in the ground in where the climate is suitable. There are three recognized subspecies. Strongly toxic like other Scadoxus species, it has been used as a component of arrow poisons and fishing poisons, as well as in traditional medicine. Common names, some of which are used for other species, include blood lily, ball lily, blood flower, Katherine-wheel, oxtongue lily, poison root and powderpuff lily. The species is native to tropical and southern Africa and parts of the Arabian Peninsula. Only the subspecies S. m. subsp. multiflorus occurs throughout this range. it is primarily a plant of moist, shady habitats. S. m. subsp. longitubus is found only in tropical West Africa, in moist lowland forest in Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia and Sierra Leone. S. m. subsp. katherinae is native to Mediterranean climate forest, scrub and woodland in eastern southern Africa – Cape Province and KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa and Swaziland.
